Brentford will host Aston Villa at the Gtech Community Stadium this Saturday for an exciting Premier League match. Both teams have the same number of wins this season, with Villa currently sitting in 10th place, just four points ahead of Brentford in 11th.
Brentford is on a positive run, going unbeaten in their last three league games. However, their two-game winning streak ended last week with a 1-1 draw against Everton. Yoane Wissa scored for Brentford, but Jake O’Brien equalized for Everton in the second half.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, has struggled lately. They’ve won only one of their last seven league matches. Last week, they faced a tough 4-1 defeat against Crystal Palace. Fortunately, Villa rebounded with a solid 2-0 victory over Cardiff City in the FA Cup, with Marco Asensio netting both goals.
In their last encounter, VilIa also performed well in the UEFA Champions League, winning 3-1 against Club Brugge, with Asensio scoring from the penalty spot in the final minutes of the match.
Looking at their head-to-head history, Villa has the upper hand with 9 wins out of their 21 meetings, while Brentford has managed 4. Interestingly, five of their last six matchups have seen more than 2.5 goals scored, indicating exciting, high-scoring games.
While Brentford has outscored Villa slightly in league play, they have had their share of challenges at home. They have not won at home in the Premier League for over seven games, often struggling to find the net.
Brentford will miss several key players due to injuries, including Sepp van den Berg and Rico Henry, among others. Christian Nørgaard is also a doubt after suffering a concussion.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, is hopeful to capitalize on their recent success. They have been unbeaten in their last five meetings against Brentford and have shown they can score multiple goals in a game. However, they are also dealing with injuries, with Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana sidelined.
Based on their current form and past performances, Aston Villa appears to have the advantage heading into this match.
Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Aston Villa
